JAKARTA: Two more Indonesian migrant workers, coerced into working in online scam centres in Cambodia, have died, amid an alarming surge in reports of Indonesians being lured and trapped into human trafficking schemes abroad.

The family of Rizal Sampurna, a 30-year-old migrant worker from Banyuwangi, East Java, received confirmation on Sunday (April 20) from both the Foreign Ministry and the Migrant Workers Protection Ministry that he had died.
